Project 9
Transformation process design for the repositioning of an automotive supplier
Developing a change management process for an international software provider in the automotive supplier industry. Market trends necessitated the transition from a product to a customer orientation, however, only one-third of the mid-level management met the new job specifications. The resulting personnel restructuring required that the board of directors take a
unified and credible approach.
Project approach:
Designing a process of change and the necessary measures
for mid-level management, including
- Assessing the potential of all managers
- Introducing "Topic experts" as a second career path
- Reassigning 40% of all managers
- Additional qualifications for 90% of all management
- Cohesive communication to mid-level management
Intensive work with the board of directors to develop
a shared position and approach
Results:
Detailed action plan passed by the board of directors
70% of the new management positions filled with suitable
internal candidates
"Topic experts" established as a second career path
